employees), stop payment notices, direct and indirect job site losses, and losses of any kind arising from or connected with the performance of the work, including but not limited to defective workmanship, non-compliance with Contract Documents, or damage to adjacent properties. This indemnity obligation does not apply to liability arising from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified parties.
If Consultant should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed under this Agreement, Consultant shall require each subconsultant to indemnify, hold harmless and defend City, CSD, Housing Authority and each of their officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers in accordance with the terms of the preceding paragraph.
CaPERS Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in addition to obligations set forth in this section, in the event that any person providing services under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or CalPERS to be eligible for enrollment in CalPERS as an employee of the City, to the fullest extent of the law, Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for any costs and expenses incurred by City, including without limitation, payment that City is required as a result to make to CalPERS, whether in the form of employee and/or employer contributions, taxes, or any similar obligations, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest.
CaPERS Participation. As set forth in this Agreement and in the Request for Qualifications, City has an obligation to treat all persons working for or under the direction of Consultant as an independent Consultant of City and agents and employees of Consultant, and not as agents or employees of City. Consultant and City acknowledge and agree that City participates in a defined benefit plan ('CalPERS"), and that it is possible that CalPERS may find that persons providing services pursuant to this Agreement are employees of City and should be registered with the CaPERS as employees of City.

15. Insurance.
(a) Throughout the life of this Agreement, Consultant shall pay for and maintain in full force and effect all insurance as required in Exhibit E or as may be authorized in writing by the City Manager or his/her designee at any time and in his/her sole discretion. (b) If at any time during the life of the Agreement or any extension, Consultant or any of its subconsultants fail to maintain any required insurance in full force and effect, all services and work under this Agreement shall be discontinued immediately, and all payments due or that become due to Consultant shall be withheld until notice is received by City that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to City.
Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for City to terminate this Agreement. No action taken by City pursuant to this section shall in any way relieve Consultant of its 7 Revised: 12-9-24
AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL
CONSULTANT SERVICES
responsibilities under this Agreement. The phrase "fail to maintain any required insurance" shall include, without limitation, notification received by City that an insurer has commenced proceedings, or has had proceedings commenced against it, indicating that the insurer is insolvent. (c) The fact that insurance is obtained by Consultant shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Consultant, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement. The duty to indemnify City shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Consultant. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Consultant, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of Consultant, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subconsultants, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them. (d) Upon request of City, Consultant shall immediately furnish City with a complete copy of any insurance policy required under this Agreement, including all endorsements, with said copy certified by the underwriter to be a true and correct copy of the original policy. This requirement shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
(e) If Consultant should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed under this Agreement, Consultant shall require each subconsultant to provide insurance protection in favor of City and each of its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers in accordance with the terms of this section, except that any required certificates and applicable endorsements shall be on file with Consultant and City prior to the commencement of any services by the subconsultant.
16. The waiver by either party of a breach by the other of any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a continuing waiver or a waiver of any subsequent breach of either the same or a different provision of this Agreement. No provisions of this Agreement may be waived unless in writing 8 Revised: 12-9-24
AGREEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL
CONSULTANT SERVICES
and signed by all parties to this Agreement. Waiver of any one provision herein shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision herein.
17. Prevailing Wage Requirements.

Consultant shall pay not less than prevailing wage rates as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations. Consultant shall post applicable wage determinations at each project site.

In no event shall any payment by City pursuant to this Agreement constitute a waiver by City of any breach of this Agreement which may then exist on the part of Consultant, nor shall such payment impair or prejudice any remedy available to City with respect to the breach.
(c) Upon any breach of this Agreement by Consultant, City may (i) exercise any right, remedy (in contract, law or equity), or privilege which may be available to it under applicable laws of the State of California or any other applicable law; (ii) proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the terms of the Agreement; and/or (iii) recover all direct, indirect, consequential, economic and incidental damages for the breach of the Agreement.

Consultant shall notify City in writing as soon as it is reasonably possible after the commencement of any excusable delay, setting forth the full particulars in connection therewith, and shall remedy such occurrence with all reasonable dispatch, and shall promptly give written notice to Administrator of the cessation of such occurrence.
